Background: Everyone is learning combat. TK and Davis have abilities which are obvious by the end of the drabble.
TK and Davis were fighting as Yolei and Cody watched with worried faces. Fists were flying and they were shouting as they moved back and forth across the floor.
"They're really going at it this time..." Yolei commented as she saw Davis dodge and respond with a roundhouse kick.
Cody glanced up at her, then back to the fight. "I just hope neither of them gets hurt. They aren't very good at controlling their blows."
Yolei winced as Davis made a wild swing and TK blocked, using the leverage to flip the other over onto his back. "That had to hurt…"
Davis however, seemed perfectly fine as he somehow managed to jump back to his feet. The two continued their fight, punching and kicking here and there, dodging blows and occasionally connecting.
After a couple minutes, the two spectators glanced at each other again. "This is a long bout…" Cody mused, obviously thinking back on his own experience in kendo.
"Yeah, and this is only - " Yolei stopped as TK executed a perfect back spin kick and Davis fell to the ground, unmoving. "Looks like they're done."
TK was sweaty and panting, as he leaned over to breathe. "All right, we're tied now, one more round to go."
Davis didn't answer.
"Davis, you okay?"
No reply.
TK paled and knelt down. "Davis! Davis! Oh come on, you've got to be okay, I didn't even kick you that hard – oh… oops…"
Cody and Yolei hurried over, also kneeling by Davis' still body. "What do you mean, 'oops'?" Yolei asked, looking fearful.
To their surprise, TK looked more embarrassed than anything. "I think I accidentally froze him."
Indeed, Davis' face was frozen in an expression of surprise as though something were about to hit him in the face, and from the positions of his limbs, it looked more like TK had just knocked over a statue than someone sprawled on the ground.
TK buried his head in his hands. "Gah, now we have to redo this round, I'm so bad at separating physical from crest power..."
Cody patted him on the shoulder. "Well, from the looks of it you would have won anyway."
They waited until TK's ability wore off, which took a few more minutes. Davis plopped fully onto the ground, looking even more surprised to suddenly find himself on the floor.
He sat up. "So I guess I lost?"
TK looked down. "I uh, accidentally froze you right before the last hit. It's probably more fair for us to redo that round."
Davis stared at TK, before laughing. "It's fine, you won. I could tell that kick was about to hit me anyway, besides now I got to miss feeling it and just have an aching head."
"You sure?"
"Yeah. Lemme grab some water, then let's go again."
TK smiled, and helped Davis to his feet. Yolei and Cody sighed in relief, and proceeded to return to where they had been watching from before.
Davis did however, grimace a little. "You know though, it is kinda unfair that you can control time and all I get is lightning..."
"Your lightning is awesome and looks cool."
"Hmm, maybe I can 'accidentally' use it..."
"Oi!"
